Instead of playing games with a world supply game. both are going to have similar supply issues with the biggest difference lying in temperature. they're both mRNA so they're sharing one of if not THE most difficult parts of the supply line, which is upscaling a new type of vaccine that's only been meant for lap work to global mass production. they're both screwed on this so ultimately, this won't really be a factor. i mean Moderna should be easier just because it only needs normal refrigeration levels compared to at least a constant supply of dry ice. that'll enable transport to be MUCH easier every step of the way but just don't expect this to have that much of an impact compared to just making a constant supply. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Wanglicious 12/06/20 5:38:20 PM #56 | pretty sure even years ago the N64 was considered the worst Nintendo system, with everyone ignoring stuff like Virtual Boy. from there the Wii often got that title even though it has one of the strongest first party libraries and had some of the best third party for Nintendo consoles - Switch, SNES, and NES are the only ones better on that. it just has ungodly amounts of shovelware, wiimote is hit or miss, and there's a stigma it never recovered from for being "too kiddy" and "too casual." currently i guess the Wii U is considered the worst but i assume it'll get some respect later when people break down just how much of the Switch's library is due to the Wii U's first party strength. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Wanglicious 12/06/20 4:09:12 PM #48 | 3DS port of Wooly World isn't a better game so i don't count it as a result. when the port is superior sure but in that case it isn't, basically am just taking the emulation standard to it: on which system would this best be to play? a handheld port that plays worse just doesn't make that cut. i do still disagree with this standard being applied since it's unfair to the systems as it's not taking their library into consideration as-is, it's looking at what they've got in the future. still is one that can be used though so that's just grumblings of different approaches. also if being followed up by a system that yoinks your game, you've gotta take out some of the Gamecube's best games. Prime 1 and 2 - better on Wii RE4 - better on Wii Pikmin 1 and 2 - better on Wii though granted, Wii U to Switch was a lot more drastic in a really short generation. it just says a lot that the Switch is rated so highly when the Wii U is rated so lowly, despite the reason for its quality library being largely because of the Wii U games. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

definitely the case for it, though i don't think that means it should be lower as a result. it's normal for consoles to get their best games ported eventually and shouldn't be a knock against them. surprised the WIi U is getting ranked so low consistently considering it also has a fairly strong first party library. especially if you're gonna say Twilight Princess is a Gamecube game since that means Breath of the Wild is a Wii U game. looking at the first party... BOTW NSMBU Wonderful 101 Bayonetta 2 Mario 3D World DKCTF MK8 Captain Toad Smash Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Xenoblade Chronicles X Splatoon Mario Maker Yoshi's Wooly World if you wanna count upgrades and remakes that make other ones obsolete too you can throw in Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, and Twilight Princess HD too. Switch basically stole 8 of those, made 3 obsolete, so i think we're left with... Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Xenoblade Chronicles X Yoshi's Wooly World along with the Zelda HD remakes. ...which honestly puts it better than the N64 and comparable to the Gamecube. right now only GCN exclusives not made obsolete left are: FE: PoR Eternal Darkness F-Zero GX Paper Mario N64 has Paper Mario and that's probably it. that system's raided pretty hard and eventually you just know they'll make a Paper Mario Collection, it's a pretty optimal one to do the same to it as what was done with Mario. but ultimately a big reason the Switch is good is because it yoinked almost all the Wii U games. Wii did that to the Gamecube too and the N64's been yoinked by everything. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Wanglicious 12/05/20 3:44:36 AM #457 | of supply issues? seriously dude? we're literally asking for the greatest undertaking ever on supply chains, on a new vaccine, using new technology, during a pandemic when they've been notoriously busted, where one vaccine needs extreme temperatures (which also has limited supply) and another still needs refrigeration. of course they're not gonna hit targets! it's impossible. realistically, the end of April situation is hoping all the people in the early groups (doctors, elderly, etc) who want to take it have taken it. public at large is nowhere close to this nor is it believed to be that way. also getting this out the way now - there will be reports of the vaccine not working at all and it will be entirely because supply lines didn't work the way they were supposed to. this leads to another series of questions: what happens to the vaccine if temperature conditions fail? how does that affect a person if that's what they're injected with? what differences in temperature and time are seen in this? we're gonna get those answers regardless but ideally we'll know an idea beforehand (we won't, this will be a shitshow when it happens). but really, a quick google check gets me this. Ctrl F Supply and voila. https://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-21-207 For example, officials at one COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing facility told us that they have experienced challenges obtaining materials, including disposable reactor bags, reagents, and certain chemicals. They also said that due to global demand, they sometimes must wait 4-12 weeks for items that before the pandemic were typically available for shipment within one week. One expert we interviewed also told us that the supply of the materials used in fillfinish manufacturing, such as glass vials and pre-filled syringes, is limited. (...) This knowledge transfer is a complex process, and one expert we interviewed told us that it is especially difficult for new technologies such as RNA vaccines, where there is little experience in scaling up productiongoing from making a small amount of vaccine in a laboratory setting to commercial scale production of hundreds of millions of vaccine doses. Additionally, there has been at least one instance in which the technology transfer process for a COVID-19 vaccine has been hampered by disagreements over ownership of intellectual property rights related to manufacturing technology. it goes on for a while since it's a 57 page report but you can just Ctrl F for key words and get a clear picture. or this. https://www.vaccinestoday.eu/stories/when-will-covid-19-vaccines-be-available/ We are hopeful that vaccines will begin to become available in Q1 of 2021, but well at first find ourselves in a situation where demand vastly outstrips supply, she explains. CEPI is working with GAVI, WHO and industry partners on COVAX a global initiative that aims to deliver 2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine next year. which basically translates to "there's no way we're hitting anywhere close to demand and we know these are lofty ideals but it's what we're aiming for." or this. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/creating-covid-19-vaccine-only-first-step-reaching-world-next-n1248761 which is the easiest read that gets into it of the three. seriously man, i don't know what you're thinking on this one. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Yes. counterpoint: there isn't a single vaccine comparable to the ones we're talking about. not in process, not in speed. mRNA vaccines are new for human testing - we're talking the earliest known trials coming out in 2017 with none on the market or in widespread usage. so if you're looking for something to somewhat compare it to you're honestly gonna have to go back at least mid 1900s and i don't think that's particularly fair to it since our ability to analyze is significantly better than it was back then. i'm not gonna compare it to older vaccines that have fallen out of style for the same reason, we didn't know what the exact risks were at the time either. for now, this is an unknown and you're asking for a citation on a new type of vaccine being put to use on a massive scale that's developed in under a year for a virus that's existed for about a year. literally nobody knows what kind of long term effects that can have. of the limited research we know on mRNA vaccines, those with autoimmune disorders are probably the ones most at risk. inflammation is a known concern but i don't know how big an impact that is or how it can affect those with other conditions. this'll be useful for redsox too if you're worried, here - this came out 2 years ago on describing what mRNA vaccines do in a very in depth way. https://www.nature.com/articles/nrd.2017.243 it's very technical on the type of vaccines we're talking about so it's dense, not something to read at 3AM. for an easier read of the history, here https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/89998 --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

I know it's because I have a very hard time processing low probability events on an intuitive level, but I am sort of terrified if I get the vaccine I will get COVID from the vaccine and die. if it's the mRNA ones (Pfizer, Moderna) this isn't a concern since it's not injecting you with COVID. you do get sick afterwards but it's for a few days and relatively minor, though we do need more info. long term effects remain unknown but it's not COVID at least. fortunately we'll be getting a lot more data quick in the next few months; Pfizer meets with the FDA on the 10th, Moderna soon after, and that's when data will start getting independently analyzed and sorted though. i think we're generally in the same age bracket so unless you're in some sort of priority position (e.g., doctor, nurse) you aren't going to even have the option until at least spring so just pay attention there. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Wanglicious 12/05/20 1:55:17 AM #429 | i wouldn't associate this with anti-vax and honestly that's a huge mistake because it gives them way more justification and reasonableness. calling it that is just wrong; it's a new vaccine with a new procedure on an unprecedented timeline for a new virus, of course you should be suspicious and skeptical of it. that's normal. there was another study that showed almost 50/50 and of the people who said they wouldn't take it, only 12% aligned with anti-vax reasons. everyone else was a variety of things that largely fall under "distrust." personally that's also where i am - i ain't beta testing shit. lemme see how people are months in, maybe a year (or two!), before i inject myself with anything. fortunately a healthy adult male in his 30s is pretty low on priorities and there'll be a lot of data and opinions of people in their 40s+ by the time i'd consider anything. by then i'd expect there to be a lot of advancements on the virus, treatments, and have a more exact view of what the vaccines are individually doing. the age thing is also easy to explain without falling into conspiracies there: if you're younger you're less at risk of the negative effects of corona and need to worry more about the long term ones a vaccine can give. if you're 65+ of course the former's a bigger deal for you. that's just a logical answer. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

But even then, its more that he was filmed going way over the line. Indefensively over the line. Body cameras are not going to stop police from being able to say that they felt threatened or that they thought a victim had a weapon. Even if the camera shows otherwise, weve given the police so much authority that its difficult to argue against a claim of fear for ones life. good example but not for the reason you're thinking: the body cams in the Derek Chauvin case are also what are basically making the case a trial of manslaughter 2 or walking. if we relied on that instead of random people in the street more for trials, we'd be fighting over manslaughter 2 or negligent homicide, which should be where the case lies. the murder charges are basically dead in the water right now. he'll be caught on other stuff too mind you, stuff related to taxes and conspiracy, but on floyd's death the police body cams are a solid defense for him against the footage everyone has seen. as a result, this is why cops should also be 100% in favor of body cams because it gives them a defense to things that seem completely indefensible. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Wanglicious 12/02/20 12:03:35 PM #36 | corrik's describing the NYC school system financials pretty well there too, i'd assume this is the standard. will differ on amount on specifics but it's typical for it to be paid per student attending and the type of student. student has an IEP? get paid more. there's a few other roles that change too, like the number of teachers you need to have or the number of paras you can have; if there's multiple schools in the building this will affect staffing of security, food, and janitors. schools being closed cuts paychecks, funding, and i do wonder where the extra money is going instead, though they're fully aware that cuts are coming. a check to cover lunches or internet would be pretty nice, i'm not sure we do that but we do offer free food and extend it by giving free food to adults after hours too - really nice program. hell, give students a subscription to udemy or something too while you're at it because they sure as fuck ain't learning anything right now. gonna have at least 2 years of an utter joke of an education. if you're gonna be inept at online education at least throw in a contract for companies that specialize in this because it ain't working. this is all ignoring the rest of the topic around schools and just the money side/some gripes with the busted nature of online right now, there's other elements that have pros and cons (e.g., its use as a babysitting tool vs. getting a stronger relationship with your children) that are gonna make the future really weird. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Wanglicious 11/29/20 3:38:42 PM #319 | trafalgar really has become the best of the pollsters right now, though it's hard to explain how. they got 2016 the best, they got 2018 the best, and from the looks of that 2020 is another notch under their belt. dunno if they'd hit the best there but it's damned good results on these close states. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Wanglicious 11/28/20 2:00:35 AM #303 | LordoftheMorons posted... Remember that story about a school that was having students get up and walk around every 14 minutes to to avoid the 15 minute rule for social distancing? can confirm. been like that since april, the addition of plastic to seal everything is newer but places have been adding that in since september and weather hasn't changed much. before that we still had some air but plastic tents with more openings were normal. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Wanglicious 11/27/20 4:49:34 PM #281 | i mean you could post feet pics on gamefaqs so that's not the best analogy. but this now feels like a big brain play by a guy with a foot fetish. and patreon is also a site you have to be 18 or older to use so that's not a good comparison either. some of this is a holdover from when patreon was the site sex workers used. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |

Wanglicious 11/27/20 4:30:40 PM #273 | i mean... xiii said it came from above him. do you really need to know more than that? he's not the only mod that's posted in here either and nothing to the contrary has been said or no correction. for an NKL you've gotten quite a bit of info here and do have admission that yeah there's issue with the way the moderation of OF goes. as for being porn like... it's still the main thing the site's known for. like i said before there's some changes happening here but it's not there yet. Cardi B the biggest since she explicitly said nothing is R18; Bella Thorne kind of in the middle since she went for rauchy but not nude; Zelina Vega same deal but got fired as WWE called the site out by name. one new example actually sprung up after this topic got made: Michael B Jordan said on Kimmel that he's starting one to support barber schools. as more celebs and people get involved that don't put adult content, the site's going to be less and less known for that. but you're about a year or two too early and the moderators/admins a year or two too late. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. |
